About the Item
This is a carved wooden sculpture of an alligator or crocodile, crafted from a dark-stained wood. The figure is elongated and stylized, with an emphasis on texture and detail.
The back features a meticulously carved pattern of square and rectangular scales that follow the curvature of the body and tail, lending a tactile and realistic feel. The head is carefully shaped with defined eyes, nostrils, and jawline, showcasing the artisan’s skill. The tail arches dramatically upward, adding a dynamic, almost serpentine movement to the piece.
This carving likely serves as a decorative object, possibly of African or Southeast Asian origin, where such animal motifs are traditional in folk art. It could also be a souvenir item, appreciated for its handcrafted nature and cultural character.
Exact history of this piece is unknown but has been in founder's collection for years.
